• SOIC and DIP IC clips available

PRESTO Programmer Detail

• Target devices can be read and displayed in buffer window and saved in different file formats. This allows devices to be copied easily.
• PRESTO is optimized for programming speed and it is a very fast memory programmer.
• In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) is a very useful and often used feature, especially for microcontrollers. Most microcontroller PCBs have an ISP header, but the IC clip accessories can be used for other circuits.
• The target memory or microcontroller can be either powered by PRESTO Programmer (5 V nominally) or can be powered by the target, within a voltage range 2.7 to 5 V (with 10% tolerance).
• GO button allows user to start programming easily, without the need for a PC keyboard or mouse. LEDs indicate programmer status - green LED ON-LINE indicates the USB connection and yellow LED ACTIVE indicates that PRESTO is just working (programming, reading, ...)
• Overcurrent limitation of target supply and programming voltages remarkably reduce the risk of damaging the target device because of user mistakes. Target supply overvoltage detection is also implemented.
• PRESTO programmer is powered from the USB bus, so there is no need for any additional supply adaptor.
• PRESTO programmer is small, lightweight and compact.
• Software upgrades are freely available for all users on the Internet. They contain new device support, new functions and algorithm updates when required.
